The guest speaker, a representative of the British Council, stressed the need for the Lagos State Government to further deepen the integration of technology in schools. Referencing national data, he pointed out that Nigeria allocates only 1.9 percent of its GDP to education.

The interactive session offered attendees meaningful insights and professional guidance on how to support government initiatives aimed at advancing education throughout Lagos State.
The seminar ended with a closing prayer delivered by a member of the organizing committee, concluding a productive and impactful gathering focused on enhancing academic achievement, building students’ confidence, and promoting knowledge of artificial intelligence across the state.
